About Intel® Active Management Technology

Dell Systems Management Administrator's Guide


Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel AMT, or iAMT®) allows companies to easily manage their networked computers. IT management can:

  • Discover computing assets on a network regardless of whether the computer is turned on or off — Intel AMT uses information stored in nonvolatile system memory to access the computer. The computer can even be accessed while it is powered off (also called out-of-band or OOB access).
  • Remotely repair systems even after operating system failures — In the event of a software or operating system failure, Intel AMT can be used to access the computer remotely for repair purposes. IT administrators can also detect computer system problems easily with the assistance of Intel AMT's out-of-band event logging and alerting.
  • Protect networks from incoming threats while easily keeping software and virus protection up to date across the network

Software Support

Several independent software vendors (ISVs) are building software packages to work with Intel AMT features. This provides IT administrators many options when it comes to remotely managing the networked computer assets within their company.
